The Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA) Foundation, along with Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Professor Adrian Krainer and his research team, rang the opening market bell on the Nasdaq Stock Market recently.
In honor of SMA Awareness Month, the group of advocates, researchers, and clinicians visited the Nasdaq’s New York City headquarters to raise awareness of this disease which has been the number one genetic cause of death in infants.
Dinakar Singh, chairman of the Board of the SMA Foundation and CSHL trustee, was the representative who rang the bell when the markets opened.
